DESCRIPTION
v.support is used to set/update vector map metadata. While GRASS GIS typically generates these metadata entries automatically, v.support allows users to manually edit them when necessary.
EXAMPLE
# update scale to 1:24000 v.support myvectmap scale=24000 # update organization v.support myvectmap organization="OSGeo labs" v.info myvectmap
